An unidentified object was moving toward Vilnius from the border with Belarus.
On the evening of November 10, fighter jets from the NATO air defense mission were scrambled due to a suspected threat in Lithuanian airspace, according to Delfi reports, citing the National Crisis Management Center.
On November 10, the Lithuanian Air Force detected an object 30 km from the Lithuanian border with Belarus, Lithuanian Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas reported on his Facebook page.
“The flight path was Vilnius–Utena. A yellow-level air alert was declared in a timely manner. NATO air defense fighters were put on combat alert. At the same time, a violation of Latvia’s airspace from the Russian side is being monitored. The air alert in the Vilnius region has now been lifted. The military continues to monitor the situation,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
Earlier, Lithuania’s National Crisis Management Center (NKVC) reported that an object entering from Belarus had been detected in the country’s airspace. Warnings were issued to residents of the Vilnius and Utena counties.
“Possible threat of an air attack (yellow alert). Identify a safe place to take shelter in advance. Wait for further official announcements. Important: This is a warning about a possible air threat, not confirmation that an attack has already occurred,” read the messages received by Lithuanian residents.
Due to the incident, the airspace over Kaunas Airport was closed, according to Delfi, and operations at Vilnius Airport were restricted.
Later, residents of Lithuania received all-clear notifications. The airports in Kaunas and Vilnius resumed operations.
